Can TANF carry-over funds be used for non-assistance poverty reduction programs?
A4: Yes, the ARRA allows jurisdictions administering TANF programs to use TANF program funds carried over from a prior year for any allowable TANF benefit, service, or activity. Prior to FY 2009, these funds could be used to provide assistance to needy families. However, such carry-over funds may not be transferred to either the CCDF or the SSBG programs.
